    Pop when turning

    Actually, I forgot to mention that I can sometimes get one or two pops from just sitting still and turning, but its more of moving and turning or braking that will make the noise.

    Pop when turning

    The 89+ motor mounts are fluid filled, correct? I havent checked the driver side before, but i noticed when changing oil the passenger side one looks practically brand new.

    Pop when turning

    I've done quite a bit of searching regarding this issue, but I only found one thread with symptoms like mine, but it was never answered. Now, onto the symptoms. As the title states, my car pops from the front end while turning. It also does it when I hit the brakes, and sometimes when I let...

    Do shocks/struts change the ride height?

    Depends on the Shock. factory replacement shocks? No Aftermarket shocks? Depends. Bilsteins are 3 way height adjustable.

    Rust issues/ And repairs :)

    I have some respect for you. If i would have pulled my bumper off and saw that amount of rust i would have thrown in the towel, and sold the car. I actually almost threw it back together planning on selling it and buying another mk3. But I stuck with it and now i have a nearly rust free car...

    160mph speedo

    I would assume post 89. My 90 N/A has a 160 mph speedo and my 88 Turbo had a 150 mph speedo.

    Weird Idle problem

    I think the STA pin was loose at the ECU, because after putting a paperclip in to get a voltage reading, all was well. Granted, it still didnt run right at idle, but i fixed that as well. It was a loose connection at the AFM... *facepalm*

    Weird Idle problem

    So i went out to my car this morning, went to start it, and i got a few fires, and then it died. Tried it again, and same thing. I cracked open the throttle a little bit and got it to run, but it would not idle worth a crap.. Checked codes and got code 43.. I drove it to the shop, where i...

    I need new shocks

    Yeah, i would get them, except for the fact they would blow when i set the car on the ground. So no problem with using tokicos in the rear until i can afford getting lowering springs and the front shocks?

    I need new shocks

    a quick question.. shocks at autozone are either 12.99 or 74.99 each. Obviously I'd go with the 74.99 ones.. but tokicos are only 68.99... I can only afford one set right now, so would it be bad to run the tokicos in the rear and stickers up front? I would think so, but just thought I'd check...

    Hitting a brick wall at 50 vs another car at 50

    Watch mythbusters, they disproved it with two cars of the same make and model, so same weight.

    Hitting a brick wall at 50 vs another car at 50

    Mythbusters tested this myth, and they proved that hitting a car that has the exact same mass, exact same speed, exact same everything, is exactly like hitting a solid object at a given speed. That got me thinking. If car A and car B are the exact same make and model, with the exact same...

    Hesitation when cold

    Im working on getting a replacement. Parts dont appear out of thin air. And yes. It still stutters. Not that me being mad has anything to do with it.
